Scroll down the page and you can see a picture of an intercooler with fans behind it. This is someone else's idea. I just had it in my pile of research on FMIC.

has anyone seen a set of fans on ATI twin high-flows? There's no clearance above the intercoolers, but I suppose you could suck air down through them...

Although I have never seen or heard of anyone doing it on the twin high flow intercoolers, I am sure it could be done fairly easy. You'll just need to find some fans that are the right size, and then rig up the mounting and wiring.

I'll keep my eyes out for a set... I've found some pictures of them, but size is deceiving... How thick are they front to back? Any idea of spal part number?

Thanks!

There's no reason to do it on a front mount unless you aren't getting air to the intercooler for some reason. A fan is there to move air at low speed. If the intercooler is exposed to outside air then it will get more air than a fan would provide.
